Recent Transformations with NBR Weft Extensions

Frequent Questions

Sure, women are curious about how these sew-in extensions are applied and like to be reassured about their safety. But our clients know we would not be recommending or applying natural beaded row weft extensions if they were not totally safe for THEIR hair. In fact, with the beaded row method, the attachments have the least amount of contact with your natural hair. 

How long will I sit in the chair?

The sew in application of extensions using a natural beaded row or NBR method takes less time than you might think. First a pre-strung row of tiny beads is attached to your hair. Then wefts of hair are sewn on each beaded using a needle and nylon thread. The process moves pretty quickly and because our salon specializes in extensions, we get a lot of practice so we're extremely efficient with our technique. The length of your appointment will depend on how many rows we'll be installing and if you're getting any custom color. The average installation takes between 2-3 hours.

Can I wear my hair up?

Women who wear hair extensions want the option to wear their hair up without worrying about exposing their attachments. This is a reasonable request! When we developed our own line of wefts for NBR extensions, we insisted on multiple bead sizes. Many brands use a one size fits all approach, but we find that with different bead sizes, we can customize your application to not only the area of the head but also your hair type.  If you have fine hair, we'll use the smallest bead size all over your head so that when you want to wear you hair up, you don't reveal beads, bumps or bulges. 

Will my weft extensions feel heavy or tight?

If you are adding a ton of length and volume, you may notice a difference but only in a good way! Your hair shouldn't feel heavy. Our hair is lightweight, after all it is human hair, and the attachments consist of tiny beads and thread. If applied correctly, you should not feel heaviness or tightness. With Monaco's hand tied wefts, you won't get that tenderness and tightness those first few days, which is common with other weft extensions. We designed our wefts to have a square base. This allows for a very gentle application because it avoids over directing and flexing the hair either vertically or horizontally when attaching it to the bead. We don't want the bead to tug on your hair/scalp and cause discomfort.
